Flight numbers
Hi all,
I ask a lot of daft meaningless questions. Allow me to present to you the latest...
How does an airline determine what flight numbers it is going to use??
I know that some use flight numbers according to the base of the aircraft. For example I seem to recall that all Airtours / MyTravel flights from LUT were 600's with the return flight being one number more than the outbound.
And I know that BA use different sequences of flight numbers for all their different franchises.
But the other day I was at Dundee and noticed that Scot Airways have a few flights to and from LCY using the same a/c every day but the flight numbers seem to have no pattern about them. Some were 3 digit, some were 4 digit.
Remember seeing a thread about BMI callsigns and the recital of most of the alphabet after the flight number to avoid confusion in the air. I tried to find it, but unless it was on pages 43 to 20935 of my search, I had no luck.
Cheers!
